ALFRED L. WEISSVENTHANNER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HOLDER FOR TOILET-STICKS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1910.

Application filed February 17, 1909. Serial No. 478,426.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED L. WEISSEN-' THANNER, a citizen of the Republic .of France, and resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Toilet-Sticks, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a case or holder of simple, chea and efiicient construction for stick-like toilet preparations, whereby the stick can be readily projected from or retracted into the case or holder at will, as will be hereinafter particularly described and claimed.

In the-drawings.-Figure 1 is an elevation of a device embodying my invention, showing the toilet stick as projected for use. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section, with the stick retracted. Fig. 3 is a detail of the bail and slide for the stick. Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a slightly modified form of slide with its bail. Fig. 5 is a similar view of another modification of the slide with itsbail. Fig. 6 is a view illustrating a modification of the bail.

A is a shell or casing, preferably though not essentially cylindrical, the same being headed at one end, as at a,open at its opposite end, as at a, and provided in its wall or walls with two diametrically-opposite longitudinal slots a.

B is a slide hereinafter termed a stickslide comprisin a head or socket piece slidingly fitted wit in the shell or casing, and C is a bail, of wire or other suitable metal, provided with in-turned ends a which are passed loosely throughthe slots a and pivotally connected with the slide, said bail thus affording a convenient handle whereby the slide can be moved lengthwise of the casing- The ends of the slots by affording .determinate stops for the in-turned ends of the bail, define the limit of movement of the stick-slide.

D is a toilet-stick, such for example as a perfume stick, one end of which is secured to the slide to partake of its move- This stick is of such length relatively to the casing that the stick can be projected to a greater or less extent beyond the open end of the casing, as occasion may require (Fig. 1), and yet when desired it can be retracted entirely within the casing and be thereby confined and protected. (Fig. 2.)

In the form illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 inelusive, the bail comprises a single piece of wire so constructed that it may be swung above the head of the casing when the slide is fully retracted. Such head is preferably spheroidal in form with diametrically opposite recesses or sockets a the yielding limbs of the bail being appropriately .contracted to afford jaws or shoulders c which enter such recesses or sockets and effectually lock the bail and its slide in retracted position. The bail, by its natural elasticity, may be readily sprung from engagement with the socketed head and swung laterally as in Fig.

1 to permit the movement of the slide and its stick relatively to the casing.

The outer end of the bail is formed with a loop or eye 0 which affords a convenient means not only for manipulating the bail, but for suspending the device from a chain or the like.

In Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the slide is illustrated as provided with a continuous circumferential groove or indentation I) which serves to lock the stick to the slide and also aifords a pivot seat for the ends of the bail. The end of the stick is cast within the slide and is thus securely interlocked with the internal bead produced by the groove.

If desired the stick-slide may be elongated and rovided with aseries of continuous circumterential grooves or indentations b, as illustrated in Fig. 4.

In Fig. 5 the slide is'illustrated in the form of a band or collarprovided at intervals with indentations b, which retain the band or collar on the stick and afford pivot seats for the bail.

In Fig. 6 the bail is illustrated as stamped out of a piece of sheet metal.

The device hereinbefore described pro vides a neat and efficient article for the purposes intended, and its parts, which are few can be readily and economically constructed and assembled.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a device of the character described,

a casin rovided with side slots, a stickslide within said casing, and a bail having portions entered in said slots and pivoted to the slide. y

2. In a device of the-character described, a casing provided with side slots, a stickslide having circumferential indentations, and abail havingportions entered in said slots and seated in said indentations.

3. In a device'of the character described,

the limbs of said bail bein contracted to afford jaws or shoulders, or engagement with the end head when theslide is in retracted position, and also bent to form a suspension loopor eye beyond said jaws or shoulders. Signed at New York in the county 0 New York and State of New York this 11th day of February 1909.
